Blog Hop!

The Stamping With Others has a monthly Blog Hop on the 7th of every month. This month's theme was using one of the Sale-A-Bration products that are free with a $50.00 Purchase! I chose to use the Flowering Fields 141300 (wood mount) or 141303 (clear mount) stamps and make 3 post it note holders. I wish I could take full credit for the basic design but I found all of them on YouTube. I also used Another Thank You Photo Polymer stamps.

Version 1

originally created by: Noreen's Kitchen

This is the simplest of the 3.

I used Delightful Dijon trimmed to 3.5 X 8.5 inches.

It is scored at the following: 1 1/2, 1 7/8, 5 and 5 3/8

For inks I used Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush - embellishments are Basic Pearls.

You will also need velcro dots to secure the flap and Glue Dots or a Snail to hold the Post-It-Note pad.

Stamp and add embellishments before folding along score lines. Add the Sticky Notes and velcro strips. Total time to make 10 minutes.

Version 2

7 X 4 inches - interior cover - you may need to trim this before you put

it on.

Whisper White Cardstock cut to 3 X 3 inches

Card board cut: (2) 3 1/4 X 3 1/4 and 1 at 1 1/2 X 3 1/4

Multi Purpose Glue or Fast Fuse Adhesive.

I used Tip Top Taupe Designer series paper and ink.

Instructions:

- Center the 1 1/2 inch wide cardboard in the longest sheet of designer series paper, and glue. Hopefully your ruler does centimeters as well as inches - but you need to mark 1/2 centimeter on each side of the cardboard. Line up both 3 1/4 X 3 1/4 on either side and glue.

- Trim all 4 corners at a diagonal.

- Fold down trim and glue to the cardboard.

- Glue the 7 X 4 inch piece on the inside.

- Glue the Sticky Note (Post-It-Note) to the inside of the book. (Prior to doing this you can paint the edges of your Sticky Notes with a metallic spray paint. I would suggest cutting a 3rd piece of 3 1/4 X 3 1/4 piece of cardboard before doing this to keep the edges from flying up.)

- Stamp the image on the Whisper White with your design and glue to your book.

Notice I cut my cardboard too small and so my Whisper White piece covers the whole. This took about an hour with waiting for the glue to dry.

Version 3

Have to admit this one is my favorite for the busy professional.
